Disappointed.
We already have a good Blimp this side of the Atlantic. And I was about to say I'd pick up Badlands for sure but it stabbed me. Bresson if extras are outstanding.
As for Tarkovsky I think we're stuck with the awful DVD set released by Artificial Eye (besides Solaris, the Sacrifice and Rublev I don't see much BR releases indeed...).

At least they're being consistent in making sure every Chaplin cover is disgusting.
Badlands is a shame as the idea is sound, the execution however..... :lol
On The Waterfront is a much bigger release than all of these, so much for the hype.

Love that Badlands cover, perfectly fitting. This update mostly reminded me I NEED to see A Man Escaped and Colonel Blimp.

Great month. Badlands, Blimp, and Blob are all must buys for me. And wow at the Chaplin cover art. It must be an inside joke to have terrible cover art for Chaplin films. And I actually like the Badlands cover art!
Weird, though, how few the extras are in the March released. I hope this isn't a sign...

that Badlands cover is like some shit that birdie comic book guy would love. Which, as most of you know, means that it is horrible looking.
Edit:
dammit Birdie.

Why couldn't they just get Kellerhouse to do it? I mean is it really that hard?

Birdie on blast in this thread
as he should be because that cover looks like it was made with Play-Doh
But it's not just a lazy rehash of gorgeous theatrical poster artwork! That means it's way better because someone in the year 2012 made an attempt at something different!

I actually just looked at the "extras" CC has been shitting the bed recently.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
And one more announcement:
I'm still a bit surprised this didn't release in time for Halloween this year.
Ah, I thought they already announced that. I've known about it for a while.
The remake is getting a Blu-ray release sometime in 2013 from Twilight Time.

"Damnit, the original poster work already beat us to the punch of arty minimalism! Quick, make something up!"

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Those two haven't even been selling well. Physical media is fucked.
But preorders for their March titles, Christine and The Fury, (lol, Christine is a Fury) are going to be a bloodbath.
also fritz lang's big night, one of the finest film noir movies ever made.
renoir's swamp water
quine's bell, book and candle
are some good recent blus from them as well.

Why in the fuck is Big Heat $57.99 on amazon?

No idea. There are almost a thousand copies left.
Four titles have sold out, Fright Night (1985), Mysterious Island (1961) Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) and Night of the Living Dead (1990).
The only ones that are remotely close to joining them are Bye Bye Birdie and The Egyptian.

Whaaaaat!?
This is fantastic!
I could literally list at least 50 Criterion covers worse than this.
It would be a long ass post but I could do it!
yea you gotta buy direct for normal prices.

they also put out the really good box set up of noir this year:

here's a nice overview of stuff they released in the last half of this year.
The Badlands cover is not only terrible because it's just horrible to look at, it also doesn't align with the other two Malick covers.
EDIT: Basically, I think something like this:
i thought the same /brofist
But its not as good as the US release!
*slowly caresses his Zodiac and The Third Man blu-rays*
Seeing as they may not release all of them on blu-ray, I'd say just get the set. Wait for a 50% off sale though so it's $250 instead of $500.

Actually, WB's reissue has already been announced and will be in stores on New Year's Day. The MSRP is $14.99. Expect to see it for much cheaper.

Apparently, it's a reference to Repo Man. I've also heard Warhol's Blue Movie, but I'm hoping for more Alex Cox.
not bad, i too had brakhage on in the background while making an ep :0
Repo Man!
Instant purchase.
The film has been a favorite of mine forever. Here is a label I offered to a guy here for his bbq sauce:
nice!

My rents bought me In the Mood for Love criterion via Amazon for xmas, but the case chipped off a bit towards the bottom. I heard criterion sends replacement cases. Do I just e-mail their support, or do I have to go through Amazon? Thanks
If you don't want to deal with Amazon, email mulvaney@criterion.com and they might replace it, but I've only had them replace badly damaged liner art and digipaks.
